Opens Friday, Jun 7, 2013 Synopsis: Two young women have a very unusual after-school job in this dark-hued comedy-drama. Teenagers Violet (Alexis Bledel) and Daisy (Saoirse Ronan) are best friends and share a passion for dresses from Barbie Sunday (Cody Horn), a well-known designer with a youthful style. Paying for those dresses can be expensive, so Violet and Daisy work to make some pocket money -- they're hired killers for Russ (Danny Trejo), who doles out assignments requiring their impressive skills with firearms and the "internal-bleeding dance" (which involves jumping up and down on their victims). Russ has instructed Violet and Daisy to knock off Michael (James Gandolfini), and gives them the location of his apartment and the time he should be home. However, though the gals arrive at the expected time, Michael does not, and while waiting for him to show up, they fall asleep. When they awake, they discover Michael is a seemingly nice guy who treats his unexpected guests with courtesy and kindness, and they're soon caught up in divided loyalties between their boss and their target. Violet & Daisy is the first directorial effort from Geoffrey Fletcher, who won an Academy Award for his screenplay for the film Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi Cast: Saoirse Ronan, Alexis Bledel, James Gandolfini, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Danny Trejo Movie Details Play Trailer

Now Playing Synopsis: A failed relationship leads a heartbroken man on a quest to perfect his macho swagger in this romantic comedy from Germany. Nice-guy schoolteacher Alex (Matthias Schweighöfer) shares an apartment with his girlfriend Carolin (Mavie Hörbiger). But just as things start to get serious, Carolin drops a bombshell -- she's in love with her handsome neighbor Jens (Thomas Kretschmann), and Alex has to go. Fortunately for Alex, his best friend Nele (Sibel Kekilli) offers him a bed to sleep in, and a shoulder to lean on. Meanwhile, Alex's macho pal Okke (Elyas M'Barek) decides to give his sheepish friend a crash course in living like a testosterone-fueled titan.
